, with the U.S. crude benchmark down over 3.5% following the OPEC agreement to start phasing out voluntary cuts in October. On Monday at 1154 a.m. ET, Brent crude was trading down 3.29% at $78.44, for a loss of $2.67 on the day. West Texas Intermediate WTI was down 3.51% at $74.29 per barrel, for a loss of $2.70 per barrel.

Oil prices have responded in a downward spiral due to the fact that the majority of the total cuts from both categories come from the voluntary scheme. Total cuts are 3.66 million barrels per day, while 2.2 million bpd of that is accounted for by the voluntary scheme. Additionally, the UAE’s production quota was adjusted upwards with a baseline of 300,000 bpd.
